She didn't want a Turkish rug, she didn't think

She hadn't any use for oils, for chromos, or

She just detested diamonds, and thought jewelry
She had no love for ornaments, Roumsnian or

EMPEROR NICHOLAS.
His Aversion to Wealth Coupled
with Avarice.

One thing the Emperor held in par
ticular aversion, viz: wealth coupled
with avarice. He once travelled with
great dignitary whom he ban
tered because Of his stinginess. At
one Of the stages the carriage had to
undergo sundry repairs, and the gen.
tlemen went forward on foot. They
came to a spot where the road was
flooded to considerable depth. The
Emperor called a road laborer and
asked him if he would undertake to
carry him through the water. " Why
not ?" said the laborer, who took him
in his arms and conveyed him safely
across. The Emperor gave him a
couple OF gold pieces and whispered:
Now go and fetch the other gentle
man, but when you have got him half
way through the water stand still and
ask him how much he intends to give
you." The man did as he was told,
stood still with his living load and in
quired in the middle of the water how
much he was to get for his labor.
You rascal" cried the miser, " the
other gentleman paid for us both. |

What is he going to stand?" called
out the Emperor. Nothing" " Then
throw him into the water" The la
borer was about to do so, but his in
tended victim held ON tightly and ex-
claimed: 81 will give you three ru-
bles!" "Ask 300," interposed the
Emperor, laughing. And now became
most comical scene. The terrified
rider still clung more closely
to his bearer, whom the Emperor,
encouraged to remain firm. The rage
and terror depicted in the features OF
the miser were indescribably ludicrous,
the Emperor meanwhile urginghi to
come on without delay. Well, now" "

when 1 get there" "Don't you trust
him." called the Emperor, nearly dy-
ing with laughter, "make him pay at

traveller had, while hanging there over

DECLARED INSANE.
A Newly.Married Mans Craze
Breaks Out In Jealousy.

Fred w. Wren, carpenter living
at 130 Clara street, San Francisco,
was declared insane and sent to the
asylum by order Of Judge Cofey.
He was married three weeks to a
good-looking Mexican woman. A
Mexican named Antonio Lopez has
been in the habit of visiting Mrs.
Wren's sister, and Wren would insist
that he came to visit his wife. Wren
on going to bed at night would place a
revolver under his pillow, hatchet
beside the bed, and a slungshot OH the
bureau. At the same time he would
ask his wife occasionally Z" how she
would like to take up her abode in the
cemetery" Saturday evening before
retiring to bed he said: "I am going
to turn this room into a butcher-shop
before morning." This so terrified his
wife that she left the room and slept
all night with her sister.
Mrs. Wren says that her husband
was not drunkard, though he might
occasionally take glass of beer. She
also said that they had only been
married one week before his jealous
fits began. Sunday afternoon the
affair eliminated in his walking about
the house with a revolver in one hand
and a Ratchet in the other, reiterating
his statement that he would make a
butcher-shop of the house. When ar
rested he said they could hang him if
they liked, but somebody would 60 to

" CHIPPIEk,o
Hhe 0rhss Valley Tidings breaches
q Live Sermon.

Under the head of Chippies," and
A screed Which May Not be Rel
lshed, but is Perfectly True" the
Grass Valley Tidings prints a column
OF the performances Of young girls in
Grass Valley, and the extraordinary
gullibility Of their parents. We quote
few extracts:
If certain respectable and honor
able fathers and mothers in Grass
Valley were to be told their daughters
were termed chippies by the
young men and others, the party
giving the information would be
deemed an officious liar. and would in
cur the lifelong antagonism of the
parents he or she had endeavored to
give friendly caution. There are in
this town girls who make a practice of
mashing" male members OF the
atrical troupes, obtaining compliment
tary tickets and going for walk after
the performance. These girls, as we
said before, are daughters Of respect
able and respected parents who fondly
believe when their daughters come
home at IL o'clock or later, "I went
to Annie's after the play and remained
longer than intended" The gullible
mothers and fathers also believe their
daughters to be spending every even
ing until 10 o'clock with schoolmates,
when at the same time they are pro-
menading back streets with any
chance acquaintance.
There are girls in this town of the
class we have described who are known
throughout the State and even all
over the Coast-advertised, as it were
by their travelling acquaintance.
And the stories told of these same
girls, by these same " friends" are
not of nature which would corrobo-
rate the fond parents indignant as
sertions Of their daughters spotless-
ness. The stories may be lies, but
the actions of the girls as known by
our home young men will not dis
avow the tales.

the lad fails to put in an appearance at

about her girl. Lizzie is spending

A singular superstition.

The Mexico Two Republics OF Octo-
ber 13 published the following; son
the morning Of the 22d OF February, this
year, the flags over the United States
legation in Mariscala street was seen
to be flying at halfmast. An Ameri-
can met Minister Manning on his way
to the legation and jokingly inquired ;
What prominent person is dead? !
see you have your flag at halfmast.'
The Minister explained that it was
Washington's birthday, and the SER
want had probably not attended to his
duty properly, and added: Il will see
that the flag goes up to the top OF the
staff as soon as reach the office
There is superstition to the effect
that if flag is flown at halfmast by
mistake, it will be again flown at hall
mast in sorrowful earnest before the
year is out. i,
The Mexican superstition in that
case found most decisive realization
in fact. Seven months later the flag
was flying at halfmast for the death OF
the Minister himself, who died on the
11th of October.-N. o. Picayune.

Professional Begga mrs in Russia.


1t may be assumed, from fairly reli-
able returns, that the number OF pro-
fessional beggars amounts to $4,000;
100000 live absolutely on casual char
ity, the remainder being partly as
sisted by benevolent institutions.
Among other reasons alleged for this
extensive mendicancy are drunken
ness, the religious meaning OF aims
giving, compulsory subdivision Of
peasants property and laziness, and,
locally, want of sufficient land on
which to support family and pov-
erty of the soil are put forward. In
two districts of the Moscow govern
ment, namely, Bogorodsk and Wereis,
fifty-two villages, with productive soil
and legally divided, among the inhab-
itants, 10000 live by professional beg
ging. Their mode of procedure is as
follows: In Autumn, as soon as the
crops are harvested and sold, and it is
consequently known where money ex-
lists, bands of beggars Of from ten to
twenty head. with five to ten carts,
start to prey upon the charity OF the
neighborhood. Some take off their
shirts, and clothing themselves in
bits Of burned fur, represent them
selves as burned out peasants; others
make their children howl by beating
them; while, occasionally, monetary
assistance is asked to pay the burial
fees of suddenly deceased old man,
who is represented by one OF the
band.-Pall Mall Gazette.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN sOROsIs.

Several Members Worth Mill
ions.
There is no better way to geta view
of some really good-looking women
than to eat Sorosis dinner at Del
monico's, if you are OF the right sex to
do so, some bright afternoon. Sorosis,
from its position as a pioneer among
the women's clubs Of the country, has
been the butt OF very much ridicule,
but as plain, ordinary, every day
matter Of fact, it comprises in its mem
bership some of the prettiest and some
of the best-dressed women of New
York. OF the younger sex, Jennie
June's daughter, Vida Croly, is fresh
and fair example, with one of the
most attractive faces that one ever
sees in the metropolis. Nine De-
morset's younger daughter is another
very beautiful girl, and Nine Demorest
herself is fine specimen OF the stately
dame. Mrs. Lizzie w. Champney,
wife of the artist, and herself we'll
known writer, is member and a very
pleasant person to look on, and
Georgia Cayvan, the actress, is not
accustomed to have her beauty called
in question. Mrs. Hammond, wife
of DR.. William Hammond, is a hand
some woman, and Mrs. May Riley
Smith, one of the sweetest-voiced OF
the minor poets, has an oval face that
suits an artist, with soft brown hair
and the most winning OF smiles, The
brightest and pleasantest thing at any
session at which she is present is Mrs.
George Hoffman, with her smiling
eyes and wavy gray hair, who has
been widely known in philanthropic
work in the city, but who lives at
High Point-on-the-Hudson since her
husbands death. Mrs. H. Louis
Thomas, the president, is a pleasant
looking woman in motherly home
fashion. Sorosis is cosmopolitan
institution. 1t admitted two women
worth $4,00O,0OO and 100000 re-
spectively at recent meeting, but
